Walk or Ride

With just one kiss you could change the world
It might not be much better-- but it certainly couldn't hurt
When you stomp your feet you aren't hurting me
But you're always killing something just by living on the Earth

So who you supposed to listen to when you're looking for something to do?
And all of us shut you up
Someone put a break in your coffee cup
When you're trying to decide whether to walk or to ride;
Take the easy way you know that you want to

I saw an educated girl give her hair a twirl
And contemplate the meaning of a man with just one arm
She's not a genius or a dunce, but it makes no difference;
For at any moment we might find ourselves a charm

Yet I'm feeling quite confused by the people who refuse to see
A simple way of life that don't make you the loser
You say we won't make it far if we don't drive there in a car
But we'll be there with time to spare
Find our own way home, oh

You might find the meaning of life in the barrel of a rifle
If it's pointed at a bird or if it's pointed at your head
Me? I'd rather plant a tree that grows up tall for all to see
Until I need a pencil, then I'll chop it to the ground

At night falling down, will it make a sound?
Should I even wonder what it'd say?
It's so hard to change yourself, easier to tell someone else
That everything is gonna be okay

Oooh
